Environment

Novell ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management - ZLM7.2

Situation

Hardware inventory settings can not be configured globally from ZCC.

Tying to add switches to the option "inventory-scanner-options" (in ZCC, under Configuration->ZDM Settings->Add->inventory->inventory-scanner-options, setting the value to: "
-braille -floppy -parallel")

ERROR: "One or more character is invalid".

Resolution

To obtain access to a hot patch with the fix for this problem, follow the instructions in KB 3469853 "Updates to Novell ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management" which can be found at https://www.novell.com/support

Additional Information

Doing it locally in the device itself does work. For instance:
# rug set inventory-scanner-options -braille,-floppy,-parallel
